  Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Larger or drun Collider podcast,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the podcast that's all about the geeky things happening in
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the world around us and how very excited we are
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: about them. I'm Ariel Caston, and with me, as always,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: is the ever stupidous Jonathan Strickland.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: What would Brian Boitano do.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I never watched South Park. I mean,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I have seen episodes of South Park, but I don't like.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: I think. I think you kinda I mean, there's gonna
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: be stuff in it you don't like. But I feel,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: as someone who loves musicals, you kind of need to
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: see the movie because it is, in large part both
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: a love letter and a spoof of big musicals in
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: general and specifically Lay Miserable.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I get that, I do. It's one. It's a gross cartoon,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: like a lot of like I don't like rend and
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Stimpy either. It's not quite as visually gross because it's
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: very simplified shapes, but it's still gross to me. And
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: then it's just very mean spirited. And I say this,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I have liked other things that that creative duo has done, for.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Sure, but I totally understand. I just I just think
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: it's one of those pieces of me. Honestly, here's a
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: little bit of trivia for Jonathan Strickland. South Park, Bigger,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Longer and Uncut was the first DVD I ever owned.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Oh wow.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: The second one was The Matrix.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Wow Wow. That's okay, that is quite the whiplash.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Of I mean like, the Matrix was the DVD that
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: I think everyone was required to own by law.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I never personally owned it, but we do own it
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: because I still have a wall of DVDs because the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: things that I really love and some of the more
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: obscure things I love, like, I don't trust streaming media
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to always have it available.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Same I've got. I've actually got a growing library of
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: DVDs and Blu rays because of that same reason. Okay, well,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: we actually decided to switch things up this week because
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Ariel has a question for me.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: That's true, I was gonna get there. Also, you guys,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: this is a very special episode because Jonathan and I
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: did not talk for an hour before we hit record. No.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: We like we like jumped into it. Okay, Like the
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: AC issue in my office continues to be a thing. Yeah,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: and so if I can limit the amount of time
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I spend in this room. I look for that option
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: because otherwise I just let me just put it to you.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: This way, I'm getting all Shrek in my unmentionables.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's for those who because we know we
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: have listeners all over but for those who aren't in
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the States, are specifically not in Georgia. It's like in
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the nineties right now. So it's supposed to get back
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: down to the mid to high eighties, which just feels
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: like a huge relief, but it's not right now. So yeah,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: So my question for you, Jonathan is do you have
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: a filter of.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Flu well a filthy children's book? Do you have a film?
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I didn't even get to the children's book? Okay, do
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: you have a favorite children's book that you wish would
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: either be made into a movie or be rebooted as
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: a movie, just simply because you love it so much
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and you want kids nowadays to also enjoy it.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: The short answer is yes, And I actually have two
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: examples that I would like to mention. One is I
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: would love for there to be a faithful adaptation of
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: The Hobbit. The Hobbit was my favorite book growing up.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: I actually have a copy of it. I have a
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: floating shelf that Ariel can't see because it's off to
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: my right. Yeah, I've got a floating shelf with an
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: early edition of The Hobbit on that shelf. It is
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: my favorite book from when I was a child. I
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: kind of went from reading little bitty children's books straight
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: to The Hobbit and then went on from there. I
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: think the Rank and Bass was a ranking Bass that
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: did the cartoon. I think it was. I think their
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: cartoon version is okay, but it leaves a lot of
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: stuff out. The Peter Jackson version. We've talked about it
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: on this show before. Ariel and I are not big fans.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: We never even finished the trilogy. It has kind of
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the opposite problem because not only does it keep everything,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: but it adds more stuff into the Hobbit and an
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: effort to make it kind of thematically similar to the
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Lord of the Rings movies, and Lord of the Rings
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: is a big epic fantasy, but the Hobbit is more
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: of a fairy tale. So trying to turn a fairy
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: te into an epic fantasy it doesn't It's not easy
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to do, and I don't think Peter Jackson succeeded with it.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I do not like the Hobbit movies, so I would
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: love to see a new take on the Hobbit and
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: to try and make it more faithful to the original
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: and not feel the need to add in all the
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: cruft that we got with the Peter Jackson movies. The
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: other one I would mention is I would love to
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: see an adaptation of the Chronicles of Predaine books. We
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: have had one Disney did one years and years ago,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: because The Black Cauldron is one of those books. Although
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the Black Cauldron, technically yeah, it's technically more of an
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: adaptation of The Horned King, which is like I think
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the first book in that series. I think there's five total,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: and I was sad that the Black Cauldron movie was
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: not better. It's one of those largely for gotten about
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Disney films for a lot of people. And I would
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: love to see an adaptation of Lloyd Alexander's books that
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: was faithful to them as well. Maybe get like a
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: series of either like five movies or five seasons of
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: a show. That would be great. There's a lot of
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: material there, there's some fun characters, and it's a The
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: books themselves are very much a celebration of Welsh folklore,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: and you don't typically see that represented that frequently in media.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: So those are those are my two long winded answers.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: But it's me. You knew it was going to be
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: like that, So Ariel, what about you?
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: So you know, I have been very lucky that I
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: also like I read kids books like Mouse on a Motorcycle,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Cricket and Times Square, Ramona Mealy, Bideelly, all those things.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: But a lot of the things that I have loved
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: growing up have been turned into movies or TV like
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Donotopia Chronicles.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: I not necessary that.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: The one that I would like to be remade, because
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I also have a couple, would be The Phantom Toll
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Booth you know for me and has like a that
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: same vibe as like series of unfortunate events, but more uplifting.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: But I love the wordplay. Maybe it doesn't quite as well,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: it doesn't quite translate as well as it does when
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: you're reading the book, but I love that story and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I want that story to be a favorite for like
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I recommend that story to adults who haven't read it
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: because I love the Phantom Told Booth, and I guess
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: also never ending story past the first movie because the
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: book goes on, I love that book. I'm actually rereading it.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I'm almost done rereading it. The second and third movies
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: absolutely and subsequent did.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Not follow it at all.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I know I've talked about that before. I was originally
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: gonna say C. S. Lewis's science fiction trilogy, because I
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: did read that as an older young adult. But I
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: don't think that that actually counts as a children's series
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: just because you know, I read a lot of stiff
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I know you did too. You know a lot of
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: things that were more like young adult or adult but accessible.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Sure. Yeah, Like like I remember reading the zanth novels, which, honestly,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, with the benefit of maturity, I
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: can look back on and say, wow, those are Tho's
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: got some problematic stuff in them, or the myth Adventures
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: series by Robert Asprin. A lot of these were ones
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: that were not expressly written for kids, but were certainly accessible,
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: and like, those were the things I gravitated towards. And
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: then like dragon Lance series and other fantasy I was
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: big into fantasy as a kid. I was not so
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: big into science fiction. I was more of a fantasy
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: kid than a sci fi kid.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I did both so like I've read versions of like
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Connecticut Yankee and King Arthur's Court, which has had so
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: many movie adaptations. You know, a bunch of old fairy
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: tales and King Arthur and all that fun stuff, but
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: also a lot of sci fi, probably more Asimov than
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: I should have read at a young age. But you know,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: you go into the library and you're like, I don't know,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I went into the library. I feel like this is
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: a trend that needs to come back. You just go
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: into the library and you look at the shelves and
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: you pick out an author that you know you've liked
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: in the past, and then it's a crapshoot.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I had that neuro divergent thing where I would
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: read a book and then I would just keep checking
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: that same book out and rereading it over and over
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: and again. That was that was my that was my spiel.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I had the thing where I checked out the book
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: and then I loved it and put it somewhere and
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: forgot I had it. There's also like the hindline, like
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Heinland wrote a few novel a few novellas. They weren't
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: full novels that were like kid friendly, So like the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Rolling stones. There's one about some twins where one goes
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: to space and the other stays on Earth and they
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: do signs of experiments to see if their connection remain
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: because they talk about how people talk about how twins
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: have like that mental connection, So like things like that
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: would also be fun. Really, there's just there's a lot
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: of good media that I think should be that that
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: does hold up that I wish people would read. Uh
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: you know, I had a friend recently do a fairy
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: tale improv show with some kids and was surprised to
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: find out that beyond like the ones that Disney has
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: kind of covered or the big ones, people don't know
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: fairy tales as much anymore. And that may be sad.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of well, yeah, if they're not if
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: they're not being tiktoked, then you don't get it.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I hope, I hope. You know, cottage core is
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: a thing. I hope we have a resurgence of.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Uh wind Uh Yeah. I would love to see more
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: people reading books and fewer people using books as an
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: aesthetic choice to create the the atmosphere that they want
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: in their cozy home.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: And you know, I say this as a person who
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: has not finished a book outside of things that I'm
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: required to read. So sometimes I have to read stuff
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: for work or for acting or whatever. Outside of the
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: the recent here there be Gerblin's graphic novel I bought
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: I got for Christmas, and also The Never Ending Story.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Those are the first books that I've like, I'm gonna
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: finish in the last ten years.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, I mean it's I can see how I
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: can get challenging. Like I was recently reading entries in
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: the one hundred Wicked Little Witch Stories, which was a
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: book that I want to say it was Barnes and Noble,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I can't. It might not have been Barnes and Noble.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: It might have been a different bookstore chain, but it was.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: This bookstore chain ended up acting as like a publisher
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: for collections of short stories that were typically centered around
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: a theme, so like ghost stories or which stories or whatever.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: And my dad wrote a story in the particular anthology.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: It's called a spell of Research. So I was like,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: I need to get a copy of this book because
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I remember really enjoying Dad's story and I'd kind of
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: like to read the other ones in there. So I
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: actually bought a used copy online because it's no longer
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: in print, and it's long since been out of print.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: And I reread Dad's story and as I was reading it,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, my style is so
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: similar to Dad's.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: For what it's worth. And you might disagree, I totally
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: count listening to an audiobook as reading.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: I do too. It's just this one would not have
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: been available as an audiobook because, like it, it came
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: out before audio books were really a big thing, Like
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: you could get books on tape, but there was no
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: such thing as audible at that point.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, well.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: This that was interesting. Thank you for that great question.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you for answering it. Also, I want to
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: before we move on, I just want to say, hey,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: thank you to our listeners who have written out to
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: us to either say that you love that we brought
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: the questions back, hey, or to tell us about you know,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: last week we abloviated on Pirates of Penzance a little bit,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: and we had an awesome listener reach out and share
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: their experiences of both seeing Tim Curry in that show
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: and also seeing an enterprise version. And I'm very jealous
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: because I would love to see an enterprise version of
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Pirates at Penzance.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: An Enterprise version.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Like it was said on the Enterprise like the start.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, all right, all right, I was thinking like corporate,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: like corporate, I.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Mean also also would watch.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: It would work like there's not I'm not complaining. I
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: was just like, what a wild high concept take. I
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: mean the Enterprise like the Star Trek version also very
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: high concept but cool.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, so yeah, thanks for I just wanted to
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: give you all shout outs for writing because those are
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: awesome things to share and we love hearing from you.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, so let's talk about stuff we've seen since the
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: last time we gathered together, and we each have some
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: some entrees. You want to go first? Or shall I
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: go first?
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: I can go first. Mine's gonna be quick. I have
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: been watching task Master, so I just finished season nineteen
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: with Jason Manzukus, and it hilarious. I have left so
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: hard during that. I've seen some task Master here and there,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: but like, I don't know right now, it's just hitting
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: that really comfy, happy fun spot for me. So that's
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: been my main binge. Finished the first season of murder Bot.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: It has been renewed for season two thankfully, who because
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I love this show I love this show so much,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: and that's why I was yelling at you, Jonathan to
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: watch it, because I was like, the more people who
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: watch it, more likely you'll get rended. But it's been renewed,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: so you're off the hook. Other than that, just you
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: know Game Changer, Cloudward Hoe, the kind of stuff that's
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: on Dropout and playing Baulder sk three. That's it.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: So you haven't seen Super Duperman yet.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I that on Sunday.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, good. I saw Super Duper Man last weekend. I
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: thought was super duper I really enjoyed it. My partner
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: and I, I think more or less agree like I
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: think we both feel that we liked it but didn't
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: love it, like we fell short of loving it. But
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: there were lots of things to really enjoy in that movie.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: The performances were nearly across the board perfect. We had
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: a couple of quibbles with one character in particular. But
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: I won't spoil it because I don't want to color
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: your perception. You might you might go and see it
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: and have a totally different take than I did. I
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: will say, I mean, this does eliminate one possibility from
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: that list. I think Nicholas Holt played one of the
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: most detestable versions of Lex Luthor I can ever think
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: of seeing, and I loved it. He was I hated
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: him so much.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: So I've really enjoyed like the nicer characters he's played,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: like in Bodies with No raj or whatever, the Romeo
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: and Juliet zombie movie he did Warm Bodies That's It,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: or you know X Men. He plays an amazing villain,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: like he is the main reason that I stuck it
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: out through all of the seasons of The Great because
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: who that show gets it gets a bit much for me.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: But he is so like to be able to play
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: someone so charismatic and so detestable, he just nails it.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I think he's phenomenal in the Menu, where he plays
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: also a detestable character who is not charismatic, but he
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: does it so which just shows his range. Like I
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: think he's an incredibly talented actor, Like he's probably up
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: there on my man crush list, Like and then he
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: and on you, Taylor Joy, We're both in the Menu,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: so I'm just like, well, well, just just lock the
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: door because I'm here for the next two hours.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: And then okay, so Superman has done something really well,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: first of all, they didn't release I feel like personally,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: they didn't release too many, too many clips from the
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: movie prior to the movie happening, like they released a couple.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Fantastic Four has been releasing so many I've stopped watching them,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: and I think Jonathan has two just because at this
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: point you are getting spoilers from the movie. If you
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: love watching them, that's great, but we aren't going to
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: talk about them on the show. To watch the movie
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: comes out.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: We do have a story that relates to Fantastic Four,
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: but it relates to something that was cut out of
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: the movie.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, But the press tour for Superman has been
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: so like wholesome.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: I haven't watched any of it. I need to now
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: that I've seen the movie, because I did see like
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: a clip of it was the one where actors ask
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: each other questions while being connected to a polygraph. Huh.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: And I saw it was Corn Sweat, who plays Superman,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: and hol who plays Luther, asking each other, and I'm like, Oh,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: this looks like this is fun. I'm going to have
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: to search this out. I just haven't done it yet.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Like Nicholas Nicholas Holt and Krn Sweat have this romance
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: going on, which is delightful. They do a lad Bible
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: snack thing which is very funny. All these you can
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: find on YouTube, because I know you're not super on
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: social media. I know that like KRN Sweat at one
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: point was doing stupid jokes to Rachel Brosnahan, who plays
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Lois Lane.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: And.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Didn't get some of the gen Z slang, which is
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: or Jen Alpha slang, which is hilarious because technically, like
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: he's young, he's.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Young, not that young though, Alfa is very young.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Alpha's very young. Okay, so gen Z, but he's like
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: thirty two, so he's solidly i'd so gen Z well
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: maybe not.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Still millennial, yeah, very young millennial.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, young millennial.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I so I say Superman is well worth a watch.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: I don't like. I don't think it was a as
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: good as some of James Gunn's other superhero films, like
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: I think The Suicide Squad is better. I think the
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Guardians of the Galaxy movies are better, better movies. But
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed Superman very much, and the ending was while
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: I knew where it was going immediately when the ending
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: was ramping up, I thought it was a perfect way
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: to end the film. So, and I'm talking about the
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: actual like last shot of the movie proper, not the
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: mid or post credit sequences, of which there are two,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: but they are inconsequential to the story. They are cute.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: They're cute, but not like if you're like, I am
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: going to die unless I go to the bathroom, You're
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: not going to miss out on anything that's earthshaking if
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: you have to go, gotcha.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: That was my first question for you, is how many
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: mid post credit scenes there were? So thank you since
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I'll be seeing it this weekend. And the second was
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: The second was does this excite you for the direction
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: that James gunn.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Is taking DC DC uh if it means I'm going
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: to get a lot more Guy Gardner abso freakin' lutely absolute,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: freaking lutely. Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner was not the
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say anything any one thing was the
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: best thing about Superman, but he was one of the highlights,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: and I'm looking forward to seeing him more in Lanterns.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: I do wish that he could have been able to
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: do this when he was fifteen or twenty years younger,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: like that would have been ideal, but he's still like
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: incredible in it.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I get that. I get that, and you know, I
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: say that, I'm sure it's a hard thing to judge
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: because James Gunn has said that he's not gonna like
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Superman is pg. Thirteen, but it you know, it's it's
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: a different vibe than some of the other movies he's
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: going to do. Like, it's a very different vibe than
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: the than a SCAA movie from everything we've heard so far.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: So like, but I think that's kind of a good choice, Like,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: don't get everything to try to fit the same mold
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: that will keep people interested.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's like it reflects the spectrum of
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: comic books under DC as well, right, like not all,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: not every DC comic book is like the other. You've
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: got some that are drastically different in tone. So yeah,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: I think that's fine. One other thing I did watch
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: besides Super Duperman was I watched most of a movie
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: called Boss Level, And the most of is already a
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: key to you about what I thought of Boss Level,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: which is that, Eh, it's not bad, it's just but
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: I was curious about it because I don't know about you, Ariel.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: I've talked about this in the past though my I'm
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: not on social, but I'm on YouTube a lot, so
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: I get a lot of the little recommended shorts on
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: the YouTube landing page, like recommended for you stuff, and
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: I try to avoid those for the most part because
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: it kind of gets me into that doom scrolling habit
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: that I don't want to engage in. But every now
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: and then I do find myself doing it. And one
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: of the movies that keeps popping up, like it's a
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: great way for me to discover movies I either didn't
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: know about or had forgotten about, and Boss Level was
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: one of them. And it's a time loop movie, you know,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: like another take on the whole groundhog Day thing. It's
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: kind of like an action sci fi groundhog Day sort
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: of deal where this guy is being hunted down by
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: a bunch of crazy bounty hunters and he isn't quite
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: sure why. He's a former like Delta Force soldier, so
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: he's quite capable, but there's a lot of them coming
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: after him. I started watching it because I had seen
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: these clips and ten minutes in exactly ten minutes in
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: as I'm watching him, like, oh, this was shot in Atlanta,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: because that's my house, like there was. It was in
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: the car chase and I was like, wait a minute,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: they just went past my house. I had to rewind
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: it and look and like, yep, that's my house. Like
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: depending on the time of day, they could have actually
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: had me walking timblet to the background.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: But I uh, I'm looking at the cast list for
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: this and it feels like whiplash even just reading the
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: actors who were in this movie, because to have Frank
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Grillo and Michelle Yo and then also Ken Geeong and
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Will Sasso like and Mel Gibson and Mel Gibson. Yeah, Like,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: it just feels very like that's that's not ever a
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: cast I'd put together.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: It feels, honestly, it feels very red box ish to me,
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: like it's a Hulu movie. It's made for Hulu, so
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: you can watch it on Hulu. But it gives me
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: like that red Box feel, like a movie that was
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: made specifically for red Box. There's also an actress named
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Selena Lowe in it. She plays Gwan yin one of
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: the assassins, and she's of Asian ethnicity. She grew up
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: in England, so she has an English accent and I
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: loved her so much, Like her character is such a
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: she's a very capable swordswoman, but she's also very snarky,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: and I was just like, Oh, I love this character.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: So I looked in to see what else she was in,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: and I noticed that she was in the twenty twenty
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: two version of Hell Raiser, which I still haven't watched,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: and I thought, Oh, I really need to watch that
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: because my buddy David Bruckner directed it.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, so you didn't watch The Prince in Me then,
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: or all of the sequels to The Scorpion King. Yeah.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: I had never seen her in anything before, I don't think,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: but she she is entertaining in this But yeah, like
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: I said, I watched about two thirds of it, and
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: then it was just not like the concept was interesting,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: but I didn't feel there was enough depth to really
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: keep me engaged. Maybe it was partly by the way
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: the film was constructed, because the movie starts off with
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: him already knowing that he's caught in a loop, like
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: the loop thing's been happening by the time the movie starts,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: and then you get a flashback that kind of gives
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: you the day before the loop started. Later on in
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: the movie, and I'm like, I don't know. I don't
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: think that they did enough to kind of make me
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: care about these characters, So I kind of bailed on
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: it at that point.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Gotcha. I honestly when you first put Boss level, because
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: I hadn't looked it up at that point, I thought
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: you were talking about Deep Cover, which is the improv ones.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: We plan on watching that Becca and I, but we
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: have not yet made time to do it. But she
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: wants to see it too, so I haven't. I haven't
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: watched it yet.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Well, everything has become a discussion topic today, which is
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: not bad. But let's let's take a break from the
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: long and go to the super short, and by that
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: I mean thirty seconds or less.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, I start with transition, thank you.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: So the first actually has to do a Superman and
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: that is post the movie. Interest in dog adoptions has skyrocketed.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: There has been a five and thirteen percent increase in
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Google searches for adopt a dog, one hundred and sixty
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: three percent increased in searches for rescue a dog, rescue
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: dog adoption near me, and then also an increase in
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: adopted Schnauzer, which is the kind of dog that Crypto
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: is based off of which is based off of James
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Benis Dog That is fantastic. I just sincerely hope that
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: anyone who is encouraged to adopt a dog based off
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: of this movie is in it for the long hall.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Please do not adopt a dog. I know our listeners
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: wouldn't do this, but please do not adopt a dog
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: and then decide it's too much work and abandon it.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Again. Well, Superman related here, My favorite Rastlin event is
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: WWE's Royal Rumble, as where thirty or so Wrastlers get
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: into a ring one point one they try to throw
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: each other out of it. Well, DC is kind of
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: doing something similar in their comic books this year. In September,
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: there's an event being called Dcko and like I said,
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: it's kind of a Superman story in which there will
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: be thirty six heroes who are duking it out tournament
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: style in an effort to build up enough energy to
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: essentially dethrone dark Side. And I got to say, twelve
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: year old me would be totally stoked.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I would be too. Next, Invincible seems to actually be
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: the show. The cartoon actually seems to be Invincible. They
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: have now been renewed for season five and season four.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Has it even come out yet. They announced it with
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: a behind the scene video of the cast recording in
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: the recording studio having a bunch of fun, you know,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: for a show that can be so dark and gruesome,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: I am glad that they have so much fun making.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Same. When the new Fantastic Four film was just getting
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: into production, we learned that being John Malkovich actor John
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Malkovich was to play a classic Fantastic Four villain named
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: the Red Ghost. Apparently he was to appear in a
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: montage near the beginning of the film, kind of showing
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: off the Fantastic Coors rise in this alternate Marvel cinematic
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: universe area. But now we've learned that he has been
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: sadly cut from the film because it just didn't fit
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: with the flow of the story that had so many
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: other characters in it, which is kind of a bummer.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but also hopefully a good decision. Next, Legend of
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: Zelda is getting a live action movie and they have
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: cast their Zelda and their Link Zelda will be played
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: by Bo Bragison. Ragason part of Me, whose previous peeky
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: credits include Renegade Nell and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth will be
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: playing Link and his previous Geeking credits include Pinocchio and Sandman.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: Oh well, pre sale tickets for movies are nothing new,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: But how about buying a ticket for a movie a
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: full year before it comes out? And what about cases
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: where those tickets actually sell out a year ahead of time.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: So in this case, the movie is Christopher Nolan's epic
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: adaptation of the Odyssey, and the screenings are specifically for
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: the IMAX version of that movie. Apparently, the July seventeenth,
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six debut is already sold out across most
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: of the United States. It's even prompted scalping.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Yikes, jeez, you can't see my face right now. But
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: it is not a good one, okay. Citizen Kane, famous
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: for Rosebud the Sled.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: Spoilers.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Shit, I'm sorry, I'm a swore. This movie is from
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: nineteen forty one, so it's probably already been spoiled for people.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: I'm sure it's fine anyhow. The iconic Sled from the
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: movie Citizen Kane has been sold at auction for fourteen
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: points seventy five million dollars, which makes it the most
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: the second most valuable piece of movie memorabilia ever sold,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: the first being the Ruby Slippers from The Wizard of Oz,
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: which sold last December. The director Joe Dante had been
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: holding on to it and when he was given it,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I think that, Like this article on The Guardian says
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: that one of the film crew is like, hey, do
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: you want it?
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: We're gonna throw it out, So that's wild. Yeah. Yeah,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: Joe Dante I think of as the guy behind Grimlins,
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: so it's wild to think the Grimlins dude had the
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Rosebud Sled from Citizen Kane. Well, if you are in
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: need of an elegant weapon from a more civilized aid,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: perhaps you would like to bid upon the actual dueling
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: lightsaber props held by David Prowse or stunt double Bob
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Anderson as they portrayed Darth Vader and the Empire strikes
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: back in Return of the Jedi. The Hero Lightsaber will
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: go on auction in September through prop Store, but be prepared.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: The pre sale estimate suggests the sucker is gonna go
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: for between one and three million dollars.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Cheesy, Luisy, I bet you could do more damage with
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: the sled though fallout seventy six is going to release
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: content based on the Fallout TV show. This isn't a
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: huge surprise. Other shows have done it. I think like
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Divergent on sci Fi. That might not be the right
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: name of it. There was a sci fi show on
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Siffy that did it as well. TV show and video
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: games kind of updated each other. But in this case,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: the start of the video game and the start of
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: the show are very far apart, so there's a lot
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: of room for them to play. I'm gonna be real, honest,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize that follow seventy six was releasing new content.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's an MMO, so it's a it's a
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: living game.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: I didn't know, but I didn't know if it had
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: gone to the MMO graveyard.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: That's fair. That's fair. It had a really rough reception
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: when it was first released, but I think it has
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: since improved drastically well. Judge Dread will be adapted for
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: the silver screen yet again. Previous versions featured Sliced Alone
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: in a pretty terrible version, and Carl Urban in a
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: surprisingly great movie. This new film will be written by
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Drew Pearce, who is the writer behind movies like fall
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: Guy and Mission Impossible. Rogue Nation. Directing the film will
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: be Taika Witteth. Now, perhaps this means we'll get more
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: of the dark satire from the original comic book series,
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: and that excites me for sure.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: As much as it pains me to say it secret,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: it doesn't really, but I like playing into the stereotype.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: Jonathan was right. The reason that said Nautica Too was
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: being delayed was to avoid payouts to its staff, and
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: now Unknown world founders have filed a lawsuit against Crafton
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: for that. Sad. That's sad.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Crafton, if you don't remember, is the parent company
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: that owns Unknown Worlds, which is the developer for the
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Subnautica series. So yeah, kind of a ugly story, all right,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: last one, here we go. The Emmy nominations came in
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: this week, and genre shows got a lot of love
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: this year, so stick with me. The Penguin, The Last
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: of Us and or What We Do in the Shadows,
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Black Mirror, Arcane, Love, Death and Robots, Ridgerton, Done, Prophecy,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: Doctor Who Agatha All Along, House of the Dragon, and
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: the documentary Renfair all received at least one nomination in
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: a category at the Emmys. But the show that really
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: wrecked up the nominations was Severance, which landed twenty seven
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: in total across all the different categories. That calls for
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: some choreography and merriment.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: Wow, that is impressive. No murder Bot Ooo.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. Maybe it wasn't Maybe it wasn't
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: eligible from when it like, maybe its debut was outside
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: the nominations window. That's a possibility, that is.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Oh. Yeah, I've been watching Love, Death and Robots. We're
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: in season three now. That show is a lot.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, I thought that was great to find
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: out that so many genre series have received some love
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: from the Emmy's. That's fantastic for sure.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: Peeks rule the world. But now we're going to talk
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: about some less geeky stuff and less like your movie
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: buff Like, anything can be geeky if you love it enough.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: So let's do our stuff that does not fit.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So first up, we've got a series that's going
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: to be on Amazon Prime starting on August thirteenth. It
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: is titled Butterfly, and the basic premise appears to be
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: a young woman is she's like a secret agent, you know,
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: she's been developed as an asset for some sort of
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: black ops organization. Her father is presumed dead, like she
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: believes her father to be dead, and then he turns
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: up totally not dead, and then because he's alive, and
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: because he reunites with her despite the fact that they
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: have obviously trust issues between the two, because she's like,
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: you seem to be dead. You never bother to reach
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: out and say, hey, by the way, I'm not. The
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: organization that employed both of them now wants to take
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: both of them out because they of course know too much.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: Man, there is like a trend of familial spy stuff
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: coming out.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: So we've got like there's a few things on our
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: list this week, both in this and in our our
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: actual like these are the geeky properties we want to
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: talk about that I feel are exactly what you're saying,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: Like they are part of trends that have been going
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: for a while now and I'm kind of over them.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that being said, Butterfly, you know, a good action
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: can be fun, and it does star Daniel Day Kim,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: who is an amazing actor. I love him and lost.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: So Piper Perabo's in it, Charles Parnell's in it. It
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: like it looks like it's well made, It looks very
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: like the action looks great in the trailer. The fight
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: scenes look really impressive in the trailer, so I imagine
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: that it'll be an exciting watch. It's just that, Yeah,
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: I feel like we've seen a lot of these sorts
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: of things.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: We talked about one last week with Freddie Hymore also.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, although in the in that case
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: he is he is not indoctrinated into the world of
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: spies and such.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: But also fubar. So you know, yep, well the show.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: We've got, not the not the concept, Yeah we we got.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: I mentioned this movie to Ariel I did not add
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: it to our lineup, but I'm glad you did. It's
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: a trailer for a drama thriller called After the Hunt,
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: and Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield star in it, and
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: yes and Idoha Bari and I. When I saw this trailer,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: I was just like floored by the acting that was
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: on display just in the trailer. Yeah, you know, obviously
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: like this is just a tiny glimpse of what's going
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: on in the movie. But I was like, if this
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: doesn't not get some nominations for some actors in at
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: least a couple of awards shows that will be a crime,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: because it looks like they're really putting in some good work.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: It definitely will it. I'm not trying to diminish the
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: story because I do actually think the story is one
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: that should be told. First of all, After the Hunt
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: seems to be about a woman who takes in a
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: young protege who then gets abused by the woman and
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: one of the women's friends, and the cover up behind
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: that in the school system, and that is a story
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: that needs to be told because it is a thing
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: that does happen, and it is a thing that gets
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: covered up, and it's not great, so not going to
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: be an easy watch. That kind of story does ring
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: of like Oscar bait, but also it looks like it's
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: going to be very well done.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: It Also it looks like it could be even more
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: complicated than that, right because like Andrew Garfield's character who's
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: called Hank, he seems to be saying that the young woman,
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: the protege, was possibly like it's all set in a university,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: so it seems like he's saying that the woman was
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: plagiarizing and cheating. She is claiming that he has harassed
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: and or assaulted her, and meanwhile the Julia Roberts's character
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: who is playing this like she's sort of the mentor
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: to Hank and friend to Hank. It's implied that lista,
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: there's something at least quasi romantic between those two. Like
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: it looks like there's a lot of secrets and it
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: could be a case where everyone's lying. It could be
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: a case where everyone's telling the truth and everyone has
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: done bad things. It's hard to say, Like it does look,
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: you know, pretty complicated from the surface level. I don't
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: know if it if it'll ultimately be complicated, or if
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: it's just me reading too much into it. But like
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: I said.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Like.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: Seeing everybody's acting on display, and this trailer was really
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: really great. I also love the fact there's a brief
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: moment in a bar between Hank and I don't know
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: what Julia Roberts's character's name is, but her character where
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: he's like handing her a card or something and then
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: she's like fumbling it as she's trying to take it,
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: and she's she does the the quintessential iconic Julia Roberts
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: laugh to the point where I was like, for a second,
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: I was transported to pretty woman.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Oh well, I mean you are supposed to put yourself
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: into the role.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: So oh yeah, no, this wasn't It wasn't a criticism
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: it was it was more like, it was more like, wow,
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: that was a total pretty woman. Laugh.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: That's that's fun that I didn't notice that, but that
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: is a fun, fun thing to catch the next thing.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know why I stucked this in here. Honestly,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: I stuck this in here when we didn't think we're
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: going to have much to talk about because it was
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: slow up until yesterday. On the New Geeky news front,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: there is a Cartoon Network show called Gumball that is
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: a mixed media cartoon kind of gross like Ren and
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: Stiffy show that uh is getting a new series and
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: we got to try for it.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's nearly as gross as Ren and Stimpy,
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: but yeah, it comes out July twenty eighth. I never
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: watched Gumball, but seeing this trailer, I was like, Okay,
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: I'm vibing with the sense of humor. It's very, very silly.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: I also love that there is a very brief necronomicon
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: reference in there.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, like I almost put it into the fits
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: because of the necronomicon reference. It's not okay, it's not
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: gross like ren and stimpy. It's very juvenile humor. And
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I also know that you have as well as juvenile
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: humor interests like classy humor interests. So no judgment to you.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, I love a good classy fart joke.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: Uh So that's all we have to say about that.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: I guess we'll move on to the Pines Still Whisper.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: So this is another one Ariel where we were talking
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: about like movies that are part of a long trend.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: The Pine Still Whisper feels like, oh, you know those
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: movies where you have the overprotective parent who is trying
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: to keep their child safe in a post apocalypse. This
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: is one of those, but from Canada with.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: Some tattoos that match. That's all I've got to say
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, So basic premise is it's again set in some
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: sort of post apocalyptic setting where you've got a family
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: that's in this remote house out in the woods, and
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: it's a mother and her young adult daughter. Like she's
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: essentially a young adult who is being told over and
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: over again by her mother, like she has to be
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: careful and she can't trust strangers and all that sort
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: of stuff. Her mom goes off for a supplies run
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: and is gone longer than expected. She ends up The
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: daughter ends up being concerned and decides to set out
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: to look for her mom. Encounters a stranger, has to
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: figure out whether or not to trust the stranger, notices
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: the stranger has a similar tattoo to one that her
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: mom has, and thus the mystery continues to unfold. The
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: movie comes out September twelfth, and I would probably be
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: more into this if it weren't for the fact that
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: we have seen so many movies with a similar basic
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: premise to them, like The Whole, like even thrillers, sci fi, horror,
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: like all three of those genres. We have seen versions
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: of this story a lot over the last two years.
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: I would say, yeah, yeah. The next one that you
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: put in is for a horror movie called Birthright, which
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: to me feels like you took the upcoming Zach Kreeger
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: movie Weapons, where all the kids go disappearing and are
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: creepy with the movie we talked about last week, Descendant
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: about someone having weird visions after getting bumped on the
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: head and having a baby, and you get birth Right.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's described as sort of folk horror. So
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: it's a folk horror movie. Think of something like wicker Man,
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: and I'm talking about the original, not the not the Bees,
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: not the Bees version with Nicholas Cage, but their original Wickerman.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: A young couple, two women expecting a baby, move into
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: a house in a rural area. The locals are kind
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: of odd. They hear about kids having gone missing in
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: the area, and then it appears to be that there
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: was a coven of witches that lived in the house
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: that they moved into at some point, and there are
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: references to the fact that locals want to sacrifice the
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: baby to something. What that's something is, we don't know.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: Comes out August eighth. This one could have maybe fit
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: into our like streamlined this is what the show is
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: about stuff, but it doesn't. Like nothing supernatural is revealed
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: in the trailer, so it may simply be like, again,
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: just folk horror, which is fine. But to me, I'm like, well,
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: without a supernatural element, it's it's borderline. So I didn't
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: put it into the lineup.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the next one I didn't even watch.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: Because wow, you didn't watch me read.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: You sold me on it so hard that I felt
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: like I knew everything I needed to know.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you didn't miss anything. Okay, this requires a bit
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: of backstory. So the trailer I put into our lineup
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: are for doesn't really fit, is for a film that's
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: called Diced Reloaded, so it's Die apostrophe Ced reloaded. So
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: a couple of years ago there was a guy named
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: Jeremy Rudd who directed a short film called Diced, Die
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: apostrophe Ced. This ended up on two be if you
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: take the credits off the movie, off the beginning in
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: the end, you end up with a movie that's around
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: fifty minutes long. So it's a short film, uh, And
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: it follows the story of a family that's being stalked
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: by a psychotic killer who's dressed up in a scarecrow costume.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: Now this killer the costume looks great, but the killer
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: has physicality and behaviors that are almost identical to that
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: of Art the clown from the Terrifier franchise. And in fact,
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: there are scenes in the movie that are clearly inspired
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: as being very kind, clearly inspired by Terrifier and Terrifier too.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: And the trailer for this movie, which is essentially the
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: same film but now made on a bigger budget and
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: expanded to be an hour and twenty one minutes long,
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: has even more moments that look like they are lifted
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: almost directly from Terrifier, just with different actors in it.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: And I didn't like Terrifier. I watched the first two
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: movies and I didn't like either of them very much.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: I didn't think they were very good movies, or at
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: least they didn't appeal to me. So this looks like
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: a worse version of that. And on top of that,
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: I found accounts written by someone who claims that they
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: were part of the crew that was making the original Dicet,
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: who said that one the director was never really directing.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: The director of photography ended up kind of directing the
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: film because the director was more interested in making behind
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: the scenes videos to put on social to promote the movie,
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: and that a lot of the crew remained uncompensated months
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: after it wrapped. They weren't getting paid. They even brought
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: out collections against the guy, and that like the movie,
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: if you watch the original short, the aspect ratio changes
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: because they didn't know how to edit the different the
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: footage from the different cameras properly, so it was all
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: in the same aspect ratio, they had issues with color correction,
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: they had issues with sound, and so to me, I
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: was just one of those things where it's like, why
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: the heck did anyone decide to bankroll a remake of
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: this movie? Because it sounds like one the guy didn't
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: know what he was doing, two he kind of screwed
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: over his crew, and three the movie itself looks incredibly
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: derivative of a different low budget horror movie. And it
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: just was discouraging to me because I know there's a
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: lot of people out there who have great ideas and
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: great skills and are good people who can't get a
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: project off the ground, and meanwhile, this thing ends up
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: getting made into a feature length film.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: For sure, for sure, I feel that frustration as well.
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: We'll actually kind of talk about that a little bit
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: in our show notes, because there's at least one movie
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: doing good things to get off the ground.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: Talked about it. Yeah, in case anyone out there really
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: wants to watch it comes out August eighth and limited
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: release in theaters and is on video on demand on
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: August twelfth. I will not be watching it because unless
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: I hear otherwise, and hear that this, you know, alleged
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: crew member was actually making everything up or whatever. I
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: don't want to reward someone who treats their crew like that,
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: so I'll be skipping it. But if it turns out
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: that that's all, you know, lies or whatever, and that
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: this guy never did anything shady to his crew, then
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: obviously that's a different story. Maybe I'll check it out.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So now we're onto our regular well, and.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: And our first two items are about the same movie.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I have feels because Okay, so two days
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: ago we got a teaser trailer for Moral Kombat two. Uh,
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: and it starred Carl The movie does star Carl or
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: one of the stars, Carl Urban as Luke Cage, not
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: Luke Cage Johnny Cage.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: Yep, if if Carl Urban played Luke Cage, there'd be
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: a lot of people saying there's whitewashing problem in Hollywood right.
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: Now, Johnny Cage. And the teaser took the form of
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: like this, like a promo for all of his action movies.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: And specifically for a new one called Uncaged Fury.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, and it looked hilarious and fun. And then the
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: real trailer for Mortal Kombat two dropped, and I watched
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: it and lost almost all interest.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: Here's the crazy thing, well not crazy. Becca and I
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: have exactly the same reaction as you, Like, we were like,
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: we kind of would rather watch a Johnny Cage movie,
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: like an actual Johnny Cage action movie, rather than Mortal
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: Kombat Too. I have a lot of questions about Mortal
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: Kombat two. One big one is where the hell is
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: Cole Young in that trailer? So Cole Young was the
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: character they created for the first Mortal Kombat. He was
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: the protagonist. So in that movie, he's the one who
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: discovers that his ability is that he he grows like
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: a organic armor over his body and he can absorb
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: kinetic energy and then release it. But he was like
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: he was the protagonist in the first Mortal Kombat movie.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: In fact, at the end of it, he's the one
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: who says he's gonna go and recruit Johnny Cage to
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: be in the Mortal Kombat Tournament. But in this trailer
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: for Mortal Kombat Too, I didn't really see him in it.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: He's listed under the cast. But this the trailer mostly
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: follows Johnny Cage, Sonya Jax, and Katana Yeah, and a
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: little bit of Lou Kang in the background and a
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: little bit of Rayden.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Like, so I watched the first movie. First of all,
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: I hope he isn't it because I do like Lewis
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Tan as an actor. I think, yeah, I think.
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: He's that's a place Cole Young, That's who place Cole Young.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who's also been in like Cobra Kai and he
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: was Sue's I can't remember. He was a throwaway character
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: in Deadpool and Wolverine. But in the funniest way, Shatterstar.
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: Oh uh yeah, yeah, he was part of the X Force.
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Shatterstar. Okay, I got it right. Okay, But so
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: I watched the first Mortal Kombat and it wasn't great,
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: but it was fine. It was a fine, slightly too
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: long action movie with some okay effects. I think the
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: problem for me is the old, like I guess, nineties
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: early two thousands Mortal Kombat movie that came out was
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: so good, it was so much fun to me that
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: this just paled in comparison. But this new trailer, I
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: feel like, required you to care about the things that
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: happened in the first movie and the characters they set
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: up in the first movie and have a working understanding
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: of them as if you've remembered them after all this time,
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: which I have not.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: Well, and on top of that, not only you can't
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: care too much because like Kano is shown in this
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: trailer for Mortal Kombat too, but Kano was tots killed
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: in the first Mortal Kombat movie, and so you're like, okay,
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: so does death not mean anything at all? I mean,
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: I get that it's based off of video game series
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: where the same characters keep coming back over and over again,
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: but exactly how mortal is this Mortal Kombat if people
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: who are killed off are returning for sequels. So that's
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: that's part of what irritated me. I thought Carl Urban
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: looked like he was having a lot of fun, and honestly,
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: I think he's the one thing I would really kind
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: of dig in this film. But overall, yeah, it just didn't.
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: This one didn't hit for me. I liked all the
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: Scorpion sub zero stuff from the first Mortal Kombat movie.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: That was great, That was amazing, like the prologue bit
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: and then I loved all that, but yeah, this trailer,
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: this trailer just did not. I agree with you, Ariel,
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: this trailer didn't really work for me. Like nothing I
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: was seeing look bad. It just didn't engage me.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess we'll see. Hopefully there will be enough
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: Johnny Cage hilarity to uphold this second movie.
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, comes out October twenty fourth.
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: October twenty fourth, we also have a trailer, second trailer
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: for Alien Earth. I know, I'm being real bad about
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: not adding trailers that have already come out. I'm failing.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: We were like, We're going to not do like the
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: second and third trailers after the second and third Deezers
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: that come out for movies, and yet I've included this one.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So this series drops on August twelfth, comes out
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: on FX and Hulu. The more I see of this,
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: the more it confuses me because I just don't understand
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: the timeline for the Aliens universe. Yeah, like like when
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: did they when did they first discover xena morphs, because
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: like in this trailer, it's pretty clear that there is
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: at least one Xenomorph on the loose or something similar
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: to a Xenomorph on the loose on Earth, you know,
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: thirty years before the Nostromo incident. And that just confuses
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: me because I'm like, how how does this work? Like
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: you can't have films or series that are set earlier
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: and earlier, and then every single one say, no, wait,
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: this is where we first found out about the alien.
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: I'm like, but you keep changing when that was like,
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: that doesn't make any sense, and so it might be
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: way more straightforward than I'm giving it credit for. But
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: they do say in the trailer that there were five
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: new life forms from distant planets that were aboard this
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: ship that then crashes on Earth. So maybe maybe at
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: least one or more of the others are not a xenomorph.
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: It could be some other like alien, because at first
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: I thought, oh, are they saying like there's a collection
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: of different aliens and then maybe, you know, the company
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: gets them and then through genetic engineering, that's how the
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: Xenomorphe is created. But no, that doesn't seem to be
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: the guy. I don't know, I don't know.
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: It might it might be I guess. I guess they're
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: leaving it so that we have to watch it to
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: find that out. I hope there's at least one not
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: horrible alien in the bunch, like one stitch yeah, one
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: six six yeah, one six yeah. You know, I have
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: to at least give it an episode because you pointed
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: out to me about the Peter Pan references in there,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: so I'll let you know.
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which, again, this trailer there was none of that, Like,
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: there was no there was no hint at the Peter
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: Pan stuff. And then the last trailer it was like
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: they were pushing hard on the Peter Pan stuff. So
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: the marketing for this series also leaves me baffled because
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: it just feels very scattershot. It doesn't feel like it's
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: it's a united approach.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. So you kind of liked Tron to.
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: Legacy.
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: Yes, best segue ever, what do you think of the
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: new tron trailer that came out this week?
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So we got a new trailer for Tron Aries.
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: We see Evan Peters as Julian Dillinger. I don't know.
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know what Dillinger's relation is to Ed Dillinger Junior,
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: who was one of the characters briefly in Tron Legacy.
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: So in the original Tron, Ed Dillinger Senior is the
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: human bad guy. He also the same actor also played
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: one of the program villains in the Tron World. Ed
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: Dillinger Junior is the new head of that company and
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: is you know, kind of a kind of a minor
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: antagonist in Tron Legacy. He doesn't really show up in
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: the movie very long, so it doesn't he's not really
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: an antagonist. And then Julian Dillinger, I'm guessing maybe his
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: younger brother, Like I can't. I think Evan Peters is
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: too old to have been the son of the Ed
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: Dillinger junior character, but I don't know. Anyway, he has
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: found a way to bring digital entities into the real world.
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: So it's the opposite of what was happening in Tron,
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: where a real person is getting digitized and put into
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: the computer world. He's doing the reverse. He's taking computer
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: stuff and digitizing them into the or not digitizing but
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: essentially downloading them into the real world. And Jared Lido's
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: aries character is one of those who then comes to
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: the real world and appears to be seeking out and
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: sers to big existential questions while also causing enormous amounts
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: of damage. So it's like philosophy and mass catastrophe at
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: the same time. And I would definitely be more into
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: this if Jared Leno weren't part of it.
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: That is my thing, Sorry, I mean one I enjoyed
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: the first Tron movie and the second Tron movie was fine.
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: Neither of them really stuck in my head beyond light
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: cycles and racing.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: And maybe Michael Shean dancing because he was so good
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: in Tron Legacy.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: I forgot about that too.
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: So good. He's like David Bowie. It's fantastic.
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, now that you've said it, I recall, but
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: like it took. It took up no space in my
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: brain after watching it. It wasn't bad, but it was
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: just I mean, I was also going I've said this
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: on the episode, I was going on a Joco cruise
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: immediately after watching it. So, uh, you know, paled in comparison,
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: but uh sure, but one I they come so far
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: in few between that the story I and then the
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not like Nine inch Nails has made some good music,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: but I'm not a huge Nine inch Nails fan, So
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: like the soundtrack being made by them has no weight
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: to me.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not like Daft Punk, where their soundtrack was this. Honestly,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: Shean's performance and the soundtrack are the best components to
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: Tron Legacy in my opinion. And yeah, so like, I
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: think Tron in general is a is a film series
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: where it's cooler in concept than it is an execution. Like,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: I don't think any of the movies so far, I
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: mean there's only been two. I don't think the two
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: movies so far have been really good. They've been great ideas,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: but they're kind of clunkers when it comes to movies.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully tron Aries will be better. You know, I
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: don't like Jared Leto's personal viewpoint and process for acting
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: and getting into character. We've talked about that at nauseum
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: on this show before. But at least it looks like
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: he's playing a more upstanding character. So maybe he wasn't
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: a bear to work with on this one. I mean,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: I heard that to get into character he would go
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: and xerox his butt forty times.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you're telling the truth or not,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: which therein lies the problem.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not going to tell you if I'm telling
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: the truth or not.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: Listen, if you're if you're young, is to xerox your butt.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: As long as you're keeping those xeroxes to yourself, more
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: power to you.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: No. No, he sent them each to his you know,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: mostly to mostly to uh, oh darn it, I forgot
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: the actor's name, the guy who plays Flynn. I was
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: so excited to be able to tell I forgot his name.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: Jeff Bridges. Jeff Bridges, correct. It might be my brain.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: My brain, no worky work right now. But yeah, okay,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: So this movie comes out October tenth. I probably, I mean, like,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: if I want to see this, I guess I need
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: to see it in the theater because certainly the Tron
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: movies are more like theatrical experiences, like it's if you're
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: going to enjoy it at all, you kind of need
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: that big screen and big sound system for it to
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: really work, because I don't think they hold up that
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: well when viewing them on a home system.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: No. No. We also got a trailer for Hoppers, which
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: is a new Pixar movie about some scientists who make
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: a fake animal, which is they make a fake animal
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: so that they can interact with real animals, which is
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: you know, mirror to like. National Geographic has made some
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: animal looking drones to get better footage of animals in
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: their habitat without them feeling like there's a camera there,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: so you know, art imitates life.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: This does go an extra step, and that you can
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: put a human consciousness into the robot animal.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: And then the robot animal understands the other animals. It
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: looks cute, it looks funny. There is a moment at
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: the end of the trailer about the circle of life
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: that genuinely made me laugh but also made go, this
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: movie is.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: Not what I can watch. Oh, I can totally watch this.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: This is it's so silly. But they I mean, I
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: love the fact that they actually do lampshade, the fact
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: that this is Avatar. It's just not Avatar the Last Airbender,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: but Avatar in that there is an Avatar of an
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: animal and a human consciousness inhabits that that animal robot
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: and then can you know, interact with the animals out
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: in nature, and that the scientists are adamant that this
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: is not like Avatar. No, it totally is Avatar.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, go, just it was.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: It was cute. I mean, they own both properties, so
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: like it's it's not a big deal. But yeah. The
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: bit that you were mentioning Ariel, that little circle of
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: life bit is that the animal that the young girl
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: there's a young girl character who's the protagonist. She very
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: rashly projects her consciousness into a robot version of a
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: little beaver, and she goes to a pond and sees
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: another beaver sitting there, and then a bear rushes out
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: and scoops the other beaver up into the bear's mouth,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: and so the protagonist intervenes to rescue this beaver, and
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: both the bear and the beaver are confused by this
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: because it's the laws of the pond. If the bear
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: catches the beaver, then the bear gets to eat the beaver.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: And it's a little like fatalistic and wild to see
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: a cartoon where an animated character is just like, yeah,
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: it's fair play, she caught me, she gets to eat me.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but also funny. But yeah, I did not expect it.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen that really a lot before in a cartoons.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: So yeah, and this one, this one comes out March sixth,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. So I like the fact that it,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, apart from the fact that it is Avatar,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: but for animals, it's an original idea, like it's not
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: another sequel, So for that I'm thankful and I'll probably
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: check it out.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I just don't like animal movies, so I won't.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: But it does look very funny. I can appreciate it
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: even if I don't watch it. We also got the
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: official teaser for Stranger Things. Teaser is the wrong word.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like two and a half minutes long.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: It looked fine.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: I haven't watched Stranger Things since season one, so I
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 2: have no idea what's going on, and I have no
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: way of really contributing anything other than obviously. It was
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: like stakes have continued to be raised and that there
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 2: is a final confrontation being teased. But I can't tell
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 2: you who the heck most of the characters are, or
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 2: what their relationship is to each other or to any
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: of the weird critters that are coming from the upside down,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: Like I don't. I don't know any of that. So
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: I watched it and I was like totally lost. I
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: do know that their release schedule is brilliant because Volume
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: one comes out, which is the first chunk of episodes,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: comes out November twenty six, so right around Thanksgiving. Volume
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: two comes out Christmas Day, and volume three, the finale,
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: really just the finale comes out in New Year's Eve,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: so they have timed it for all the holiday releases
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: when people are you know, off work and are able
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: to watch stuff, or are.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: Too busy because they're entertaining family to watch stuff, which
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: is my case.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: Not everyone, and not everyone invites the entire world into
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: their home every holiday. Are you sure? I am one
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: hundred percent sure. You can watch Boss Level and you
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: will see a distinct lack of people at my house.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I like, I enjoyed the first four seasons of
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: Stranger Things, so I will watch this last season. It's
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: not that I'm unexcited for it. I just I don't
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: feel like the trailer gave me anything in particular new
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: to be excited about.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: That's fair. Yeah, yeah, okay, ma, well it just got
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: a couple more stories to go. One is that Ariel
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: found this because it was on Facebook, and I am
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: no longer on Facebook, so I did not see it
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: at all. But Sketch the movie We've talked about a
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: couple of times. That's the kind of dark fantasy horror
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: sort of film where a little girl's drawings are coming
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: to life and wreaking havoc. Sketches having a pretty cool contest.
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So the contest is if you buy movie tickets
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: through Angel Studios, which is the studio that made this,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: you can be entered to win a bunch of like
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: movie making stuff, so like lights and after effects and
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: software and hardware, and also a trip to go like
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: take a movie making workshop in La with the people
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: who made the movie. Kind of is like one as
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: a way to encourage people to use to be creative
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: on their own and not use AI, right because you
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: don't need AI to do it. You can still use
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: computers and all that other stuff. You don't necessarily need
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: AI for your movie. And two, like that's a brilliant
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: marketing tactic to get people to buy tickets for your movie.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: Another one I saw after posting this. The person who
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: kind of talks about it is Freddie Wong, who is
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: a very funny, like geek creator. He was on the
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: Mentopolis season of Dimension twenty, which was brilliant, so that
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: also was a delight. The other thing the studio is
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: doing is if you buy tickets for your kids, parents
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: can get tickets for free. And again I think that
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: those are just some phenomenal ways to get people excited
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: about your movie.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty cool. It's it's it's neat to see
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: other ways of marketing a film besides just the you know,
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 2: having your your talent, go on a press junket, that
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: kind of thing. This is. This is interesting and also
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: I love seeing the encouragement of the filmmaking community out
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: there to experiment and get involved because I do think
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: in many ways the barriers to getting something made and
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: seen by people are much lower than they used to be.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, there was this one horror short film called
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: Dice that was terrible, and it got a full feature
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: film reboot. So I'm just saying, like, like there's precedence
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: out there, and if a bad thing can be remade,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: maybe a good thing could too. So but you know,
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: I think that's super cool. Like I looked at some
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: of the equipment and everything. That's really impressive. I'm going
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 2: to let someone else enter it, because honestly, I am
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: more on the writer producer side, not so much on
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: the actual shooting side, so I would not get as
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: much out of it. Yeah.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: Same. I just hope that this encourages everyone who sees it,
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: and I hope a bunch of people see it. Like,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: I'm so excited for this movie. I really hope it
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: holds up just to be creative, because you know, like
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: the movie is about a creative child who is who
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: puts her her emotions into art, and I hope that
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: this encourages children and adults alike to do the same.
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 2: And finally we got another trailer, a full trailer for
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: Dead Take. This is a video game, not a movie
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: or a computer game. We talked about it previously where
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: it was it looked like it was two different voice
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: actors being pitted against each other to play the same character.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 2: And this one, am I right? Is that the same one?
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: It is? Yeah?
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: For as I was talking, I was like, wait, could
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: I be conflating two different games?
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: Then Starr and Neil Nubhn being the voice actor or
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: the actors straight up actors. There's live action video clips
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: in this.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: The game kind of looks like a mystery slash, almost
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: like a scape room kind of experience where you find
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: like video clips of different voice actors doing lines and stuff,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: and that by combining different clips together you can start
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: to unravel a mystery, where like you might just have
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: one side of a conversation when you find one clip,
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: and later on you might find another clip that's the
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: other side of that conversation. You can combine the two
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: clips and get the full thing. H And that that's
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: kind of an interesting take. I've never seen anything quite
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: like that in a game like this. And also I'm
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: excited because Alana Pierce plays one of the characters in
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: this game, and she's someone I followed from She was
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: in a group called Funhouse years ago, and then she
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: was working as a video game developer with Sony and
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: I just like her work. I like her work, and
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: I like her perspective on the video game industry. So
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: it was cool seeing her pop up in this.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's in it. Like I said, Ben starrs in it,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: Neil Nubhn who was a Starian in Balder's Kate three,
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: and a bunch of other They've both done tons of
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 1: other stuff. Matt Mercer's in it, and so is Laura Bailey.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: It's a really great cast. And yeah, the synopsis you
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: pretty much nailed it. Jonathan is Chase Lowry. Neil Neubon
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: is an actor searching for his friend and fellow actor
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: Vinnie Monroe then Starr, who went missing after Glamor's party
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: at a secluded mansion in the Hollywood Hills, and players
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: step into Chase's shoes to explore the mansion and solve
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: escape rooms and puzzles and piece together the videos to
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: find the truth behind the disappearance and the dark secrets
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: of the entertainment industry. That's just reading the synopsis. But
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: it is interesting. It's probably gonna be very dark because
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: it is based off of the creative doctor, the creative
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: director's personal experiences in the acting industry yikes, or at
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: least inspired by So I am so curious about how
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: it plays out in what the actual secrets are.
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if I had a nickel for every time I
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: disappeared inside some Hollywood executive's mansion, I would have Well,
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: let's not go into it.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: Like I think in the trailer they show someone splicing
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: two videos together to make a completely new video, And
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 1: I wonder if that's some like commentary on how you
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: can be so easily taken out of context to tell
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: a narrative in the industry.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was curious if that was either like I'm
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: not entirely sure if that's a game mechanic or simply
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: a plot element, right, like that you uncover this or
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: that that actually becomes a fundamental component to how you
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: navigate this game. I don't know. I will say, like,
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: it's interesting enough to me it looks different from other
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: stuff that I am definitely curious about it. It comes
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: out on July thirty first on the Epic Games Store,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: which I do have, so I may be checking out
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: this on the thirty first.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll have to let us know what you think
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: If you do, sounds good to me. And with that,
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: we have made our way through all the stuff, and
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: even with our long digressions, like this is still a
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: slightly shorter episode than several of our more recent ones.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so thank you for listening, Jonathan. If people have
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: comments that they want to tell you.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: How they do that, well, you're going to have to
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: project your consciousness into a shrew, and by that I
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: mean the little burrowing animals. So you're gonna have to
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: find yourself a little shrew bot shoe, not yeah, not
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: Kate from Taming of the Shrew, but an actual little
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: robot shrew. If you do come at me in a
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: other version of shrew like Kate from Taming of the Shrew,
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: I will certainly pay attention to you because you will
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 2: scare me. But I don't know that you'll get your
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: question answered. If you want your question answer, you got
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: to project your consciousness into a robot of the animal
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: shrew and then burrow your way to where I'll be.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: If you want to know where I'll be, well, you're
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: gonna have to watch Boss Level and wait till you're
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: about ten minutes into the movie and then look in
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: the background and it's a blink and you'll miss it
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: kind of moment because it's during a car chase sequence,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: But somewhere in that general vicinities where I'll be because
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: I'll be walking my dog. Just be sure that when
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: you do come up to ask your question, you do
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: so from a safe distance, because that dog's leash is
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: about six feet long and he does like to go
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: after critters. And I would hate to see your consciousness
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: trapped inside I had a defunct shrewd robot because that
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 2: would be sad and it would really bumm me out,
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: and also I wouldn't do anything about it. So but
• 1:16:08
